Summary:

"Mark Wreford examines the reasons that prompted the New Testament writers to create the texts which would become the formation of the Christian religion. Wreford explores the possibility that certain religious experiences were understood as revelatory, and consequently inspired the writing of texts which were seen as special from their inception"-- Provided by publisher.
